Relevance, Reimagination, Diversity, And Disruption

In this episode she talks about HR transformation of the HR framework using technology and much more.

Key Takeaways

Relevance, through Reimagination:

Through the course of its development journey, an organization encounters many points that act as triggers for the transformation of the HR framework using technology. While this can be broken down into infinite sub-stages, and be influenced by a whole gamut of factors too, the major ones include process redesign, manpower optimization, exponential scaling, and a change in business model. Such transformations enable a quantum jump and facilitate the reimagination HR needs today to stay relevant.

“Anyone relevant deserves a seat at the table”:

Any transformation in the way Human Resource Management is done has a huge impact on the overall organizational framework too. This makes HR a critical component of the think tank of the organization and helps settle the long-raging debate of HR deserving a seat at the table. Anyone relevant and impactful deserves a seat at the table. It is also important for other HR's to speak the language of the business, work collaboratively and not as a functional silo. Only then can they truly understand and measure metrics for business growth.

Modern-day HR- Powered by Technology:

Technology can make HRs more intelligent & effective. It helps to add the much needed human touch while bringing agility to the process by taking away what is mundane and routine. Technology has proven to boost efficiency by helping HR to discover time they never knew existed! With this newly discovered bandwidth, HR managers can understand the hotspots that demand their attention. Another thing that technology has brought to the table is mass personalization and the ability to exercise creative intelligence for better engagement and results.

Women In Leadership: Diversity & Inclusion:

This is a topic that needs no introduction. While scaling greater heights in your career graph comes with its own challenges for everyone, women as a community have to go a little extra mile to claim the recognition they deserve. Even though organizations today are proactively taking measures to ensure that it does not happen, a lot is yet to be done. The key is to remove bias and build a diverse and sensitive ecosystem for the overall betterment of the business. But what’s going to make your efforts for diversity fruitful, is inclusion.

Together, we must strive to make freedom, appreciation, and responsibility possible while putting merit first.
